Thermodynamic properties of liquid water from a polarizable intermolecular potential

Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulation results are reported for the pressure, isothermal pressure coefficient, thermal expansion coefficient, isothermal and adiabatic compressibilities, isobaric and isochoric heat capacities, Joule-Thomson coefficient and speed of sound of liquid water using a polarizable potential [Li et al., J. Chem. Phys. 127, 154509 (2007)]. These properties were obtained for a wide range of temperatures and pressures at a common liquid density using the treatment of Lustig [J. Chem. Phys. 100, 3048 (1994)] and Meier and Kabelac [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 064104 (2006)], whereby thermodynamic state variables are expressible in terms of phase-space functions determined directly from molecular dynamics simulations. Comparison with experimental data indicates that the polarizable potential can be used to predict most thermodynamic properties with a very good degree of accuracy.
